fine show. Drove up from NYC and I felt it was well worth the ride. We listened to the aud. Copy on the ride back,soooo much fun, and isn’t that what it’s really all about? Sure we critic these shows and become sticklers about how well they played and this song and that Ive been seeing shows from late 71’ and have seen Pig P. And better shows than this.

While I’m biased in that ‘77 is not my favorite Dead year, contrary to many dead heads, I still think there are better shows from this year, and this

one has been overrated due to popular deadhead mythology. Still, there are some incredible moments in this show and by all means it’s worth listening to.

listened to this show many, many times and it always delivers the magic. The energy from the band is palpable and represents the best of the Spring '77 tour, IMO.

Barton Hall, worth a visit
Knowing this show mainly for the unique Scarlet, I had a chance a few years ago to visit a friend who works at Cornell, and as we were touring, she mentioned,
...
here is Barton Hall. The mere mention flooded my mind with all sorts of flashes of what this show and era of the Dead was like. She grew up in Woodstock, NY, where I had also spent my high school years, and we reminisced about the Dead and what that show must have been like. The mellow Cornell campus and the awesome finger lakes nearby, just heaven for mind tripping Dead heads to explore new universes of space time mind travel. What a blessing it was that we could enjoy this music back then, and now here in the archive! I plan to donate to the archive to help them flourish, as I would encourage others to as well. What a precious resource. Enjoy, in deep listening compassionate dead cheer! ....wake up to find out that...you....are the eyes of world!

"Nice slidin' Jer!"
This particular recording has a quintessential Grateful Dead show moment (the kind that is impossible to explain to someone who's never been as to why
...
it is charming...and probably just plain impossible to explain to anyone anyway). It comes right after the great(est?) Row Jimmy when the tripped-out, upstate deadhead enthusiastically and rhythmically shouts out "Nice slidin' Jerry, whoa-ho! Ah ha! Shake it Jer! Woah-ho! ah ha!" I don't know why, but this kills me. I've never been a true acolyte of this show, but it is pretty darn slick.

Better not be there when it rolls over...
It is probably best NOT to title anything 'BEST SHOW BY THE GRATEFUL DEAD' It is challenging enough to pick out the best shows from a particular year let
...
alone to have one ultimate show for the 30 year run. What you can get from a listen to this show is that when the band is on just about everything they play stands out and sparkles. The biggest standouts probably being 'Dancin' 'Scarlet>Fire the whole St.Stephen>N.F.A>Stephen 'The Dew' but really the entire show is well played.(MORNING DEW-It is amazing that a tune they started playing so early along could blaze so hot all thru the years. and it scorches here.) The N.F.A reminds me of The ENGLISHTOWN one they would play four months later. Great Sound !

most overrated show? No way!!
After hearing a bunch of Dick's Picks and other great 77 shows, I still think this was the greatest by far of a very good year. The late, great Dick Latvala
...
did a heck of a lot for the Dead legacy but got it completely wrong on this one (except that he did recognize this Dew as the best ever). The Scarlet>Fire blows away other versions from 77 and may be the best ever. St. Stephen > Not Fade Away > St. Stephen > Morning Dew is simply one of my favorite jam sessions of all time. Talk about primal Dead! It's a very solid first set as well, with a spectacular Loser and culminating in a long, well-jammed Dancin'. It may be a good thing they don't have this one in the vault. All these great-sounding recordings will be available on Archive for the foreseeable future. This one really sounds good.
